Program update AVG 8.0.135 - SP1

Improvements & fixes

  • Remake of internal communication to eliminate undesired program status appearance (hibernation, sleep mode, cold restart, ...).
  • Display of the system tray icon representing running scan (that can be paused or stopped from the context menu).
  • Added option to ignore the status of a component via context menu in the AVG main interface: the system tray icon then reports OK status even if a component is in error status.
  • System restore point is created before launching a program update.
  • Improved EML file processing including scanning of user mailboxes.
  • RAM requirements optimization.
  • New design of the system tray pop-up window, and more information provided.
  • Improved statistics of detected objects in Email Scanner and resident Shield.
  • To eliminate AVG collisions with OS, only minimum drivers are installed in safe mode; then it is possible to launch on-demand scanning from the command line only, and a new GUI dialog has been added to ease the scan configuration.
  • Added option of restoring a file from the Virus Vault to the original folder even if the folder has been removed.
  • Added option of deleting the Resident Shield and Email Scanner history.
  • Improved stability and design of GUI.
  • Improved detection of former Lotus Notes/MS Exchange plugins installations during AVG setup.
